Uber passengers are sharing on a recent AskReddit what led them to give their drivers 1 out of 5 star ratings. The resulting stories are filled with fails and general uncomfortableness. If you're an Uber driver and you find yourself with 1 out of 5 stars, you're likely doing something terribly wrong, or there's a slight chance that your passenger is full of sh*t. 

This Uber driver showed up and helped a troubled young woman in the middle of an unnerving date with the King of Creepy Nice Guys, out of a dicey situation. This would be a great marketing campaign for Uber. 

A recent AskReddit thread has taxi, Uber, and Lyft drivers sharing their most interesting situations that popped up on the job. Surprisingly not all of these are bad. Some passengers even stepped up to hook some drivers up with job opportunities! 

Oh Rhonda had this one coming! The Uber driver masterfully executed a satisfying revenge on one insufferably snobby and impatient customer. We really wonder if it wouldn't be better to just have called her Karen. 

Uber drivers see us at our very worst. Whether you're stumbling your way into a drunken 2am ride home after closing out the bars with a reckless abandon, or in all kinds of disarray after crashing at a stranger's place; they get to sit there, get you home, and maybe stay quiet about the state of things if you're lucky. Just make sure you leave them 5 stars! 

People seem to have a very hard time maintaining some semblance of decency when they enter an Uber ride...as a passenger or driver! 

Dear God it's like trying to deal with Comcast.

This Uber driver, Steven, is the hero the internet need and deserves right now. Going above and beyond to get his hungry customers the food they need! 

Go home Skynet, you're drunk.

Can say in all honesty that these were a delight. Opting for a ride share service like Lyft or Uber invites the wild and unpredictable, and if you're 'pooling' or 'lining' (sharing rides with other drivers that may or may not be bane of the earth individuals with irritable inabilities to shut the hell up and/or not be obnoxious) voices and the uncomfortable. But hey, let's just roll with the cliche fortune cookie one liner that goes something like: the core of a person's spirit is measured in their passion for new experiences, or some unpleasantly preach-worthy sentiment like that. In this case, I can get down with it. You'd be surprised at the kinds of stories you're bound to rack up if you get out there and hail enough rides --- just don't get shit on by that soul-crushing surge rate. 

This hangry driver gets 5 stars for the profanity-ridden rant alone. Might want to reconsider his approach to texting paying customers though.
